N2  - OBJECTIVE    This study aimed to examine rupture-repair (R-R) episodes in a sample of adult World Trade Center responders (N = 32) who engaged in integrative psychotherapy for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an outpatient clinic.       Method    Participants rated therapeutic alliance after each session, and presence of R-R episodes was calculated throughout the course of treatment. We predicted that patients who experienced R-R episodes would have significantly better treatment outcomes than those who did not.       Results    ANCOVA analyses indicated that the presence or absence of R-R episodes was not meaningfully related to treatment outcome, with the exception of the Goals & Task domain of alliance, which was meaningfully related to improved outcome.       Conclusions    Attending to disagreements regarding treatment Goals & Task may be uniquely important for individuals with PTSD.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
